Garage Services Fishing Shop On Isle Of Skye For Sale

Business description

We aredelighted to offer for sale this popular garage, which was established in 1900 and which has been in our clients' careful hands since 1968. The garage is only now offered to the market due to our clients' wish to retire. The business is run at a pace to suit our clients and trades 7 days a week, generating a turnover in the region of £20,000 per annum with a gross profit of 60%. Dunvegan garage offers vehicle repairs and servicing, along with a range of Calor gas products, crafts, and fishing equipment. We feel the turnover could be further increased by reinstating fuel sales, as the business has retained its licence. There is also the opportunity to extend the range of products available in the shop and extend opening hours. We have been advised that the business has previously generated turnovers in the region of £300,000 and this level could be achieved again by a new owner. The business has a loyal customer base and is renowned for providing a high quality service. The premises boast 3-bedroom self-contained owners' accommodation with lounge, kitchen, scullery and bathroom. There are also 2 well-equipped workshops and private parking facilities for up to 20 vehicles. This is an ideal lifestyle change opportunity for a new owner to acquire an already popular garage with immense scope for development. Early negotiations with us must come highly recommended.
